Description
John Milton had started to hope that he might have a future...
On the run from the agency that wants him dead, former MI6 assassin Milton has found anonymity driving a taxi around the streets of San Francisco. But when a girl he takes to a party goes missing and two dead bodies are found, the police treat him as their prime suspect.
Milton needs extra attention like he needs a hole in the head. But as unpleasant secrets leak out and the body count rises, one thing is for sure.
He might just be the right guy in the wrong place at the wrong time...
